This summer the Drumheller Family Fun Committee along with the Drumheller Library have been encouraging kids to search for a number of dino rocks hidden in the downtown core.
Louise Henrickson with Drumheller Family Literacy and the Family Fun Committee shares where the idea for this dino search came from. “This is a project that the Family Fun Committee came up with three years ago. We had Vicki Meyers make up some stones for us and it’s just a fun way for families to engage in free, healthy activities.” They have hidden 10 rocks in most of the downtown but Henrickson shares that one is located outside of downtown.
They have prizing available for those who participate. “We have a small gift for anyone who puts their name in and then we have a bigger prize for the families who participate,” comments Henrickson.
There are a number of organizations that have endorsed this program and Henrickson believes these partnerships are important. “We really want to build the partnerships with agencies behind the scenes. Brooks and County Immigration Services. Family Literacy, Healthy Family, Family Resource Network, Alberta Health Services, Drumheller Public Library, the Town of Drumheller is our financial sponsor, and we do occasionally get volunteers that hop on board.”
To participate, visit the Drumheller Families page at Drumheller Community Learning’s website or pick up a hard copy at the Drumheller Public Library or the Drumheller Family Resource Network. You can participate until September 1st and drop off your completed form to the Drumheller Public Library or email to drumhellerfamilyliteracy@gmail.com
